Once completed, the vessel will have capacity for 50 passengers and 25 bicycles. It will also have a Corvus Orca Energy battery pack installed as a source for propulsion power while the electric propulsion system will be supplied by Danfoss Editron.

To cover auxiliary power consumption, solar panels will be installed on the sunroof.
